ANSWER:

When you stood up to pray and if you had intended praying one rakah then it’s not permissible to change the intention in between. 

You must only pray one.

If I intend that today I will pray 1 rakah of witr, now I start prayer and inner me tells that no u pray 2 and get more reward. And I end up with 3 rakah. Will this be counted as correct prayer?

I’m seeking clarification on what exactly “silent recitation” and “loud recitation” means in Salah. Does silent recitation mean you cannot hear the words being said at all? Do the lips have to be moving?

Sheikh,I heard that we have to recite ikhlas,falaq,nas 3 times in the morning and 3 times in the evening..So I used to recite ikhlas,falaq and nas 3 times after my fajr prayer and 3 times after my maghrib prayer..but someone told me that it’s an innovation..he told me we have to recite ikhlas,falaq and nas 1 time after fajr prayer and 1 time after maghrib prayer,not 3 times.. is it true???
